Happy Veteran's Day, Fall Spruce Up, Wounded Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/11)

Today is Veteran's Day where we honor and thank those who have served in the military. Happy Veteran's Day! 

We also recognized the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity who worshipped with us today.

Last week, we started our new Bible Study series, "Who Did Jesus Die For?" We had a great time with lots of lively discussions. Join us this Wednesday at 7:00pm as we look at the Scriptural support for the Doctrine of Definite Atonement. If you missed any of this series, you can watch the recording at Zion Live.

Fall Spruce UP: All are welcome to help clean God’s house on Saturday, November 17th, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Come for any amount of time. Thanks in advance for your service.



Next Sunday, I'm starting a new series called "Wounded: How the Gospel Heals the Sexually Hurting". It's a heavy subject that I know could trigger those who have been sexually wounded in the past. In order to prepare yourself, here are the specific topics covered in the series:

  • 11/18 – How the Gospel heals those sexually wounded by fornication & adultery 
  • 11/25 – How the Gospel heals those sexually wounded by sexless marriages 
  • 12/02 – How the Gospel heals those sexually wounded by pornography 
  • 12/09 – How the Gospel heals those sexually wounded by assault & rap
Invite others that you know may benefit from this series. Please pray that God would work mightily and people will begin their journey to be healed.

Mortgage Burning Ceremony (10.6.24)

Today is a day of celebration and gratitude as we come together to witness the burning of our church’s mortgage! This moment represents years of faith, commitment, and sacrificial giving from this congregation. It’s a testament to God’s faithfulness and the dedication of His people. What we are celebrating today is not just the end of a financial obligation, but the beginning of new possibilities for missions, outreach, and service in our community.   ---     Psalm 127:1 says, ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.’   This building has been more than just bricks and mortar; it has been a spiritual home where so many lives have been touched by the gospel. We recognize that while we’ve paid off the mortgage, it is the Lord who has truly built this house, sustaining us through every season.   --- History of the Vision         Though this chapter is closing, the mission God has ...
